Bonaparte’s Retreat lyrics

[Verse]
Met the girl that I love
In a town way down in Texas
Beneath the stars up above
She was the sweetest girl I ever did see
So I held her in my arms and
Told her of her many charms
And I kissed her while the fiddles played
The Bonaparte's Retreat

[Chorus]
All the world was bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her say "Don't you ever go away"
So I held her in my arms and
Told her of her many charms
And I kissed her while the guitars played
The Bonaparte's Retreat

[Musical Interlude]

[Chorus]
All the world was bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her say "Don't you ever go away"
So I held her in my arms and
Told her of her many charms
And I kissed her while the guitars played
The Bonaparte's Retreat
